Oppo completes its Reno range with an atypical smartphone in its catalog. The Reno 7, the apparent successor to the Reno 6, is technically less ambitious, and above all devoid of 5G. A choice that some may regret, for a smartphone with otherwise homogeneous performance.
Renos are usually mid to high end. But with its Reno 7, Oppo goes against its habits and delivers an altogether humble smartphone, which ignores 5G and the brand’s usual ultra-fast charging systems. The device is nevertheless pleasant to use, thanks in particular to its contained format and its suitable power, and allows you to take good quality wide-angle shots. We regret, however, that at its price level, it does not offer ultra wide-angle or 5G, at a time when its direct competition avoids compromises.
Points forts
- Good autonomy.
- Successful design, with a clever LED.
- Satisfactory daytime wide-angle photos.
- Correct performances.
Weak points
- Microscope module a bit anecdotal.
- Inaccurate screen calibration.
- No ultra wide-angle or 5G.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
An alternative
The Edge 20 is a good representative of Motorola’s new ambitions. The smartphone stands out thanks to an excellent Oled screen, a powerful chip without being too energy-consuming, as well as a solid autonomy. Without achieving excellence in photography, it offers a triple sensor capable of adapting to a large number of situations. If the lack of IP certification or microSD port is not a major flaw for you, this Edge 20 could well become a serious choice in the mid-range market.
